Kalvos & Damian Ought-One Festival

August 25-26, 2001

Events

Kalvos & Damian brings together composers and composer-performers who have been guests on Kalvos & Damian's New Music Bazaar, the Deems Taylor Award-winning new music show produced at and heard weekly on WGDR-FM and at http://kalvos.org/ on the Internet.

The Ought-One Festival takes place on Saturday and Sunday, August 25-26, 2001, in downtown Montpelier, Vermont, America's smallest state capital.

Please note that this schedule (times below) is close to final. Specific pieces may still change, though. Composers who will be at the Festival for questioning, praise, gifts, critiques, etc., are marked *

Improvisation II: Tuned bells/tabla; mrimba/balafon; two drumsets, one played with mallets, the other played with sticks; guitar; rhythmic material feeds guitar material; marimba/balafon changes to set with sticks; tabla/tuned bells changes to set with mallets.

Loons: Raised By Jackals. Synthesizers, delay-processed whistles/vocals. A penny whistle with a shakuhachi complex competes for your affections with synthetic jackals and a mutant Gamelan orchestra.

Loons: I-Spy. Synthesizers, delay-processed guitar/vocals. Our most accessible piece ever! Yes, even yer grandma can probably stand this one... at least for awhile. Like New Age, but with more ammonia!

Loons: Partched. Synthesizers, ring-modulated guitar, delay-processed whistles. When we play this, Harry Partch spins in his grave like a bloody turbine, a new potential source of alternative energy that we are proposing to Dick Cheney.

Loons: Wired. Synthesizers, delay processed guitar. Guitar is played using a slide edge in the right hand to rub the strings and normal left-hand fretting. This produces long violin-like tones without the normal percussive guitar attack. The use of the slide also effectively creates a new bridge, which alters the scale length and hence the tuning of the guitar and creates a microtonal environment. Synthesist attempts to make you nervous.

Kalvos & Damian has allocated part of its program fund (including a portion of the Argosy Foundation gift) to The Ought-One Festival, has sponsorship from the Consortium of Vermont Composers program fund, and is raising private sponsorship, including its underwriters.

The presentations have been juxtaposed to let the audience (public and other composers) experience a wide range of creation & performance styles. Start times have been staggered during the day, and the Dream Room material has been sequenced for a general stylistic sense, convenience of presentation, and opportunity for it to be heard at several times over two days.

There are 15-minute transition times into the schedule. Keep in mind that sound checks are Friday night and Saturday and Sunday morning, and won't be very leisurely.

There are additional open panel discussion spaces throughout the churches, if anyone wants to gather and talk.

There will be a Festival Store. It will have O1 Fest goods (T-shirts, mugs, the usual) as well as any material that you are offering (CDs, scores, etc.). You may bring anything to sell; please have it priced and with a description sheet where we can identify what was sold.
